Was Sturgeon Bay ever named Sawyer?

Andrea — 14 Jul 2006 3:46:17 GMT

I know that at one time Sturgeon Bay was called Otumba. Does anyone know what that name means? But as my family story goes (see herman taube posting) it's always been believed that Sturgeon Bay was once called Sawyer.

I know that there's a County called Sawyer, but is there a town? Does anyone have any clarifying info on this twist in the story?

any help, or a point in the right direction would be great.
Thanks so much,
A.

Tombstone Photos for St. Joseph Cemetery

mindychadmclane — 1 May 2008 3:31:29 GMT

I sent about 40 tombstone photos of St. Joseph's Cemetery, Sevastopol, Door, Wisconsin using the form online about a month ago. The pictures are not posted yet and I have tried contacting Tina Vickery, the Archives manager. However, both email addresses I had for her are not working. Would anyone know how to contact Tina or if there is someone new that is the Archives Manager? I still have the email confirmations for the submissions I made and really wanted the pictures online by the time my cousin visits Door County in less than two weeks so she knows what tombstones she needs to photograph while there.

Nelson Bristol

bartowenwilliams — 18 Apr 2007 2:52:15 GMT

We are looking for information on Nelson Bristol. We believe Nelson was born in Canada around 1815-1820. He lived in Racine County for a short time and then eventually moved to the Claybanks area in Door County where he was listed as living in the 1880 census. We assume he died between 1880 and 1900 since we cannot find any record for him in the 1900 census. We have no record of where he died or what happened to him after 1880.

Katherine and Agnes Reynolds

darklotus1837 — 16 Sep 2007 4:18:28 GMT

While reading William Storrs Reynolds' obituary (_Door County Advocate_, 22 October 1926), I discovered that he had a second wife and two daughters that, as far as I know, are essentially undocumented. Further research revealed that he married Rose M. Geitner from Egg Harbor after his first wife (Lionne Anna Cochems) died. The couple had two daughters: Katherine (also spelled Kathryn) and Agnes, both born in the early 1920s. Both William and Rose died in the late 1920s, and the girls were adopted by the Pisko family.

I have no information on either child after their adoption. Does anyone know what became of them?

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Leonhardt and Lorch families from Selzen, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany that settled in Sturgeon Bay, (and more from Washington Co.)

MindyMcLane — 14 Jul 2007 9:15:06 GMT

It happens more than once that the Leonhardt family gets tied into my family tree. SO I am trying to sort the Leonhardt families out.
I found a Registration of Marriages for Christoph Leonhard (no "t") and Catharina Lorch married by Ernst Kudobe on August 12th, 1860 in Granville, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Chris and Catherine later died in Sturgeon Bay, Door County, Wisconsin.
The Leonhardt families and Lorch families were both originally from Selzen, Hesse Darmstadt, Germany as far as I know. The name penetrates a lot of Washington county. There are so many Leonhardt names that it is hard to distinguish which family they belong to and how they are all connected.
Does anyone out there have a connection into the Leonhardt family that could help me sort this tangled mess?
Thanks, Mindy

Charles Reynolds and Eliza Storrs of Sturgeon Bay, WI

darklotus1837 — 4 Feb 2007 1:26:53 GMT

I am researching Charles Reynolds and Eliza Storrs of Sturgeon Bay, WI (by way of New York, Ohio, Florida, and Michigan). According to Eliza's obituary (_Door County Democrat_, October 28, 1910), the couple had eight children. I can only account for seven:

Perry (1850-before 1860)
Frank Charles (1855-1912)
Edward (1859-1919)
Mary H. (1862-1927)
Charlie (Jan. 1866-Sept. 1866; VERY uncertain)
William Storrs (1869-1926)
Harriett M. (1871-1930)

Does anyone know who child No. 8 is? I will of course be happy to exchange what information I have gathered if anyone is interested.

Thanks very much,
Elizabeth

Evangeline Milk Company - Employees?

Andy Laurent — 19 Apr 2006 1:26:18 GMT

I am searching for information regarding the Evangeline Milk Company that operated on the west side of Sturgeon Bay from the 1930s through 1964 in the old Van Camp's factory.

Does anyone on the list know of any former employees of the plant that are living? My interest is for my book regarding the railroad and the industries of Door County.

I know that the plant was a milk condensary, but one question I have is did they produce condensed, evaporated, or dry milk? Or all three?

Thank you,
Andy Laurent

TAUBE, Herman of Germany--> Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin

Andrea — 14 Jul 2006 3:43:29 GMT

I'm looking for more information on Herman Taube (my great grandfather), who as the family story goes was kicked out of Germany for falling in love with a servant girl. He came to america and settled in Sturgon Bay Wisconsin. Year unknown.

Again as the family story goes, the servent girl, name unknown, saved her money, came to america and married Herman Taube. They had a 13 Children (dates unclear) one named Emma who married George E Ellis in 1906. This we have proof of. Thank you Wisconsin historical society!

My guess at the dates would that if Emma was 18 when she married (give or take) she would have been born approx. 1888. the family story says that Herman was about 18 when he left germany. His wife was believed to arrive three years later when he was 21. if they married and had kids right away-- depending on Emma's birth order he could have been born in 1867 or as early as 1850 if we take another 13+ years off for all the other kids. (these dates are all guess's and approx)

I'm hoping to find someone else, perhaps a decendent of one of the other 13 children, who may also know this story, and have more details on herman taube, his wife and their kids.

Emma and george had three children, lucille, Laurence, and Marjorie. Laurence Ellis born in 1912. Laurence married Jean Roberts, and had David Ellis in 1942. that's my dad.

if anyone has any thoughts, stories or clues please contact me, even if they seem farfetched, thanks so much,

A.

I am researching the businesses and industries served by the Ahnapee & Western Railway in Door and Kewaunee Counties focusing on the 1940s and 50s.

I have a quick question about Maplewood for those of you who are familiar with the history of the place:

Did Knauf & Tesch own both elevator/feedmill buildings in Maplewood? I believe they are on either side of County H and one is now being converted into a residence. Anyone familiar with the buidings of Maplewood 50 years ago, I'd like to talk with you!

I'm also looking for information on the businesses along the tracks in Forestville during that time period...

Former Railroad Employees

Andy Laurent — 28 Nov 2005 3:12:23 GMT

I am searching for information on the Ahnapee & Western Railway (into Sturgeon Bay until 1968) and I wonder if there are relatives/families of the men who worked for the railroad in the 1950s and 60s that are still around?

Some of the railroaders were: Frances Renard, "Buster" Warren, Ed Tomjanovich (rumor that he is still alive?), Herb Holschuh, Russ Dean, Bob Ruby, Vern & Erv Bushman, John Rohr, Ted Gartzke, Ed Berning, Jim Roubal (still alive), Osborne...there are a lot of names.

Do you know any of these names, or did you know the men? I'm curious if their families might have stories, photos, or other items that might help in my research? Please contact me if you knew these men or know their families...

I am trying to preserve the memory of the railroad, the men who made it work, and the businesses gave it purpose. Any help you can give is appreciated.

J. A. Whalen - Standard Oil Co. salesman

Andy Laurent — 11 Sep 2005 4:28:42 GMT

I recently acquired a box of miscellaneous paper items from a salesman of the Standard Oil Company named J. A. Whalen. The territory covered by this gentleman was the whole of Door and Kewaunee Counties, plus the eastern part of Brown County.

The material includes order tickets, company correspondence, shipping invoices, and blank forms for the 1917-1918 time frame.

Does anyone have an interest in these items, or know someone who would?

A rough description of the items: 12 sales/order ticket books listing most of the businesses that used petroleum products in that era (about 75 tickets per book); more than 10 letters from Standard Oil in Milwaukee; about 70 shipping receipts to locations throughout the three counties but mostly in northern Door County and Sturgeon Bay, and about 15 pads of Standard Oil sales related forms.

Contact me if you are interested in preserving these items. I bought them with the hope that they would aid in my railroad research of the A&W Ry., but they really didn't pan out...

Regards,
Andy Laurent
